It\u2019s Not Too Late"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>We might not experience the chilly temperatures that our neighbors in the Midwest or Northeast do, but if the last couple of weeks were any indication, it does get <em>cold <\/em>relative to what we\u2019re used to in the summer, right? As such, you need a fully functional and efficiently operating heating system to keep you warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, too many homeowners in our area take this for granted and don\u2019t think about the upkeep necessary for their heating systems. Either that, or they think their perfectly working heater <em>doesn&#8217;t need <\/em>any kind of service. Here\u2019s the thing, though\u2014scheduling annual or biannual maintenance for your HVAC system <em>prevents <\/em>the majority of repair needs the system will ever need in its lifespan\u2014up to 85% in fact! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you skipped\nmaintenance this fall, what are you waiting for? Give us a call and schedule\nyour next tune-up. Below, we decided to dive into the \u201cwhy\u201d of this advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>The Many Benefits of Heating Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know heating maintenance isn\u2019t glamourous nor does it\nseem like a worthwhile investment. We wouldn\u2019t try to persuade you with\nanything but the facts. Read on as we outline the many benefits of heating maintenance!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Energy Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of heating maintenance is the\nenergy savings you get as a result. Annual heating maintenance (or biannual, if\nyou have a year-round heat pump system that also cools) sets your system up for\nsuccess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When our professionals come out to do a tune-up, it results\nin a heater that is in the best working condition possible, reading to run as\nefficiently as possible. When a heater works more efficiently, it costs you\nless to use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Increased Comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like we said above, it gets <em>cold <\/em>this time of the year! You want to ensure that your household\nhas the best heating possible. It\u2019s easy to achieve this if your heater is\nwell-maintained and kept safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having our pros come to your home once a year for your\nfurnace or boiler maintenance, or twice a year for your heat pump, will assure\nthat you stay as comfortable as possible without worrying about a surprise\nbreakdown or emergency repair needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Longer System Lifespan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s estimated that the average heating system, when well\ncared for, will last around 10-15 years, but you won\u2019t be able to receive the\nfull benefits of any heater if you don\u2019t have it maintained on a routine basis.\n\n\nDuring maintenance, our team thoroughly\ninspects, cleans, and adjusts the system. This helps it fend off wear and tear,\nand reduces repair needs to the point that your furnace or heating system will\nlast as long as possible. Without maintenance, you can expect that 10-15 year\nlifespan to be cut in half. Talk about an expensive problem to have! You\u2019ll be\nreplacing a full heating system every 7-8 years instead of using it to its full\npotential. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>To schedule your professional <a href=\"\/hvac\/heating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"heating maintenance in Concord, CA (opens in a new tab)\">heating maintenance in Concord, CA<\/a>, contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Hometown Heating and Air Conditioning (opens in a new tab)\">Hometown Heating and Air Conditioning<\/a> today.
